Land and money gifts push future plans forward
By Virginia J. Schumann
Managing Editor
Last week the University received
two donations from members
of the St. Xavier community—
10 acres of undeveloped land in
Orland Park near Interstate 80 and
Route 45, and $1 million to finance
the construction of the new chapel.
Located midway between
Interstate 57 and the planned
Interstate 355 extension, the land
donation may become the permanent
site of a new south campus.
According to University
President Richard Yanikoski, "it
could conceivably be open by the
fall of 2002." The Orland facility
will, "serve an area that, at present
doesn' t have a four-year institution
within a ten-mile driving range,"
explained Yanikoski.
The construction date of the
new facility in Orland Park hinges
on several planning steps that will
take place over the next year.
Yanikoski expects the cost
of the new construction to be split
between benefactors and a long-
term financing plan.
The Northeastern Planning
Commission forecasts that there
will be very rapid growth along
Interstate 80. By 2002 the
Commissions estimates that Orland Park
will experience a 55 percent growth
in population over a five year period.
Additionally, New Lenox's
population is expected to increase
138.9 percent and Frankfort's population
will experience a 132.2 percent growth.
Robert and Mary Rita Stump
donated ten
acres along
the Interstate
80 corridor.
Mary
Rita Stump
is the daughter
of Morgan Murphy,
Sr., a Catholic layman
who was instrumental
in the relocation of the
Saint Xavier
College to its
present location on
103rd Street.
The Stump's daughter, Mary
Judith O'Malley, is an alumnus of
SXU who actively supports
the University.
Her husband, State Senator
Patrick O'Malley, serves on St.
Xavier's Board of Trustees.
In 1996 The Board of Trustees
set an objective to increase
SXU's educational presence in the
south suburbs, according to
Yanikoski. In the summer of 1997,
the Tinley Park cite was leased and
this past January the campus
expanded by more than one-third its
original size.
The Tinley campus offers
specialized fields of study; a field
based masters program for
education and a fi-
nancial
trading
practice
program.
These
specialized
programs
will continue to be
offered at
the new
Orland location to
compete
with Lewis,
Trinity, St.
Francis, and
Governor's
State Uni-
versities.

Changes will also take place
at SXU's Main Campus this year.
A donation of $1 million has been
earmarked by the University's
Board of Trustees to help pay for
the new university chapel.
The chapel will be named in
honor of the donors, James J. and
Jacque McDonough.
"If we can get permits, and
they currently take six months from
the city, construction could begin
after graduation exercises," noted
Yanikoski.
The construction on the
McDonough Chapel aims to be
completed by the new millennium,
in time for a year 2000 mass.
Yanikoski explained that the
design of the chapel, "speaks
especially to the Mercy tradition and
the multi-cultural diversity of our
community."
Yanikoski is, "looking at the
possibility of incorporating the art
and the spirit of the community
into the chapel or foyer."
The new McDonough
Chapel will be built adjacent
to SXU's main building, and its
design is being created by
Newman Architecture, located in
Naperville.
Rev. Mark Joseph Costello
has been retained by the
University as a liturgical designer.
The chapel will be a,
"unique space that was designed
for us, as a community,"
commented Yanikoski.
James McDonough is President and
CEO of McDonough Associates,
Inc., one the Chicago
area's premier engineering/
architectural consulting firms.
McDonough served as chair of the
university's Board of Trustees for
eight years, and is a Life Trustee of
Saint Xavier University.
Earlier this year, the
McDonough's received the Shield
of Saint Xavier, the University's
highest honor.
Campus
murder
mystery
By Elizabeth Jimenez
News Editor
"Who done it?" That will
be the big question asked
around campus next Thursday
when the Student Activities
Board invites the Traveling
Mystery Troupe to the St. Xavier
campus to stage a murder mystery.
The staged murder mystery
will require the help of three
student actors, but will involve
everyone; for everyone is a
witness; everyone is a suspect, and
anyone can unfold the mystery.
Who will add up the facts
to crack the case? Can you
figure out who done it? What was
the motive? What was the
weapon? Where were you when
the crime took place? Do you
have an alibi?
A $50 cash prize will be
awarded to the master sleuth.
Other participants will receive
T-shirts and other novelty prizes.
The Murder Mystery will
be held Nov. 12 in The Cafeteria
at 7 p.m.
Admission is free to students
with an ID and $3 for guests.

Students to model U.N.
By Elizabeth Jimenez
News Editor
For the last several weeks, members
of the Political Science Forum (PSF)
have been preparing for and feel
confident about participating in this year's
American Model United Nations
conference(AMUN).
Saturday, Nov. 21 through Tuesday,
Nov. 24,1998, the AMUN incorporated
will hold its annual International
Collegiate Conference. The conference
will take place in the Hyatt Regency in
downtown Chicago.
AMUN is a non-profit, educational
organization founded in 1989 to provide
students with the highest quality, most
professionally run and realistic simulation
of the United Nations available for
an unparalleled Model UN learning experience.
The students will be expected to
follow the same structure and rules as
though they were really apart of the United
Nations.
In addition to the four officers of
PSF, 14 other students volunteered to
participate in the conference. "Last year
we struggled to get students to want to
participate in the conference," said Hanan
Jubeh, President of PSF, "this year we
had so many people volunteering, we had
to have a cut off." The students came
from a variety of majors including
International Relations, History, English and
Education.
Approximately one hundred coun-
tries will be represented and over 60
colleges and universities from all over'
the world will participate. The students
entered a lottery to represent the
countries of their choice.
When the representatives arrive,
they will spl it up into their assigned
committees and address the council with their
resolutions. Their goal by the end of the
week-end will be to persuade the council
to pass their proposed resolution.
This year, they had enough students to
enter the category of International
Court of Justice; a category in
which students are selected to be in after
submitting carefully written essays.
Carlos Jackson, a political science major,
was the student selected to represent
SXU in this category.
Jubeh says they are going well
prepared this year and may have a chance
at winning Best Delegate Awards, usually
awarded to those whom are most
active in their committees.
Jubeh compares St. Xavier's preparation
standards to such schools as University
of Chicago, Michigan State and
the University of Wisconsin, all of which
will be competing.
Many students attend the conference
as an actual class in which their
grade depends on their placement in the
academic competition.
Aside from this being an opportunity
to meet many people from all over
the world, the students will get a great
hands on experience.
